BEDC considers rezoning plan
Directors of the Bowie Economic Development Corporation met for its month meeting at 8 a.m. on Feb. 27.
The board continues work on finalizing the Bowie Business Park covenants, conditions and restrictions. Janis Crawley, executive director, said the board will make a request to the planning and zoning commission for a zoning revision at the park which would lower a portion of the heavy industrial area to light industrial and also expand the commercial zone at the park.
Once maps for the proposal are prepared they will be sent to the P&Z for consideration. Crawley said the BEDC has signed a sales contract with WLSCO, LLC to purchase two acres at the park pending approval of the amendment to the zoning ordinance. WLSCO, LLC, owned by Patrick Walters, has plans to build an “office garden complex,” which could develop into a collection of buildings.
The board also made a change in its meeting schedule going back to the preview second Wednesday of each month for its meetings at 8 a.m.
A BOIL WATER NOTICE remains in effect for the 800 block of Lively Street. Affected residents should use bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. If you are impacted by this notice and need bottled water, please call the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator at (940) 977-4941
The heat advisory that has been in place all week continues until 8 p.m. Friday night.
The National Weather Service reports strong high pressure overhead will bring triple digit high temperatures along with heat index readings approaching 110 degrees for much of next week. To reduce risk of heat related illnesses when outdoors, schedule frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas, and stay hydrated.
Make sure to check on your older neighbors to make sure they are staying cool and hydrates, and make sure pets have shade and water.
